While the routine decisions that shape our days—what to have for dinner, where to shop, how to get to work—may seem small, collectively they have a big effect on global warming. But which changes in our lifestyles might make the biggest difference to the climate? This science-based guide shows you the most effective ways to cut your own global warming emissions by twenty percent or more, and explains why your individual contribution is so vital to addressing this global problem. Cooler Smarter is based on an in-depth, two-year study by the experts at The Union of Concerned Scientists. While other green guides suggest an array of tips, Cooler Smarter offers proven strategies to cut carbon, with chapters on transportation, home energy use, diet, personal consumption, as well as how best to influence your workplace, your community, and elected officials. The book explains how to make the biggest impact and when not tosweat the small stuff. It also turns many eco-myths on their head, like the importance of locally produced food or the superiority of all hybrid cars. The advice in Cooler Smarter can help save you money and live healthier. But its central purpose is to empower you, through low carbon-living, to confront one of society’s greatest threats.EcologyClimatologyEnergy policyEnergy policyCogeneration of electric power and heatFossil fuelsEnvironmental healthEnvironmental SciencesClimate SciencesEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementFossil FuelEnvironmental HealthEcology.Climatology.Energy policy.Energy policy.Cogeneration of electric power and heat.Fossil fuels.Environmental health.Environmental Sciences.Climate Sciences.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Fossil Fuel.Environmental Health.363.7/0525NAT011000SEL031000bisacshShulman Seth1835334Union of Concerned Scientists.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963885703321Cooler Smarter4411875UNINA01708nas1 22004453i 450 SBL044190720251003044354.0P 00095236P IT737683 19910930a19729999||||0itac50 baitaitazu||||||||z01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrierAnnali della Fondazione Giulio Pastore1 (1972)- MilanoGiuffrè1973-v.25 cmAnnualeL'editore varia in: F.
